PRICE OE PRINTERS, INK.

San Antonio has spent money enough
on advertising pamphlets during the
past three years to spread her glories
abroad through the columns Of the
daily press Of the city from Maine to
California. In photograph and lItho.
graph cabinet cards, in express and
railway time cards, in histories OF "Ssn
Antonio, Past Present and Future" in
prosperity and Prospects Of San AntO-
Mo-" and in innumerable other ways
advertising sharks have seized upon the
native desire of the business people Of
this city to advertise their business
along with an advertisement OF the sd-
vantages Of the city itself, and see no re-
turns. The particular business sdver-
tised may have reaped some advant-
ages, but nothing at all commensurate
with the outlay. Such advertising
schemes have become so common, the
methods by which so called information
is impaired have become so patent that
intelligent people pay no attention TO
such productions. Capital knows very
well that the mention of business made
in these pamphlets is made for con-
sideration; that the most important
houses are often left unmentioned be-
cause no bonus is paid the compiler by
such firm. The general industries Of
the cities assumed to be written
up are most oursorily alluded to,
and whatever truth they may con-
tain Is vltisted by the well known de-
sign OF the whole, which is primarily to
draw money out of the advertisers; men
paying the most money getting the
largest space and the most generous no
tice- Thousands of these books are
piled up In the back closets and in the
rubbish rooms OF San Antonio mer-
chants today. The advertisement of
the city by means OF its own local press
would cost the merchants and real es-
tate men and banks and manufacturers
Of this city less than they have paid for
useless pamphlets, which, to very large
extent, have never reached the parties
ing the business OF the advertiser.
These works are not for general distri-
button. The advertisement by the local
press would be so arranged as to reach
the great manufacturing centres. The
press Of other cities the country over
would call attention to these articles.
They would not appear as advertise
ments, nor would they be. They would
be accepted as honest statements, from
responsible news journals, of the condi-
lions and advantages offered capital and
manufacturing skill in this city, inviting
examination. They would also be &C.
oepted as demonstrating the energy, in
telligence and public spirit Of the peo-
pie and Of the press, itself no small con-
sideration. In determining to present
her advantages through her daily press,
San Antonio will act we'll and wisely.

BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son Will be four. years of age on
the 18th inst. In May, 1855, he was attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in a physician who treated him
for about four weeks The child received lit
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to be
hives in an aggravated form, became larger
IN blotches, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get up In the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
liniments, etc. Finally, we called other ply
scians, until no less than ak had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse until about
the 2Oth of last July, when we began to give
him CUTICURA RESOLvENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the RcsOlyent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of II bottle of Cutcura Resov-
Gnt, a little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of CutiCuTa Soap.

IT may be true, as the Statesman says:

IT may be true, as the Statesman says:
1.-The ChatswOrth horror could only have
occurred through negligence of some
railway official, who ought to be held
guilty Of murder" 1t may be true, but
there Is no evidence of that fact. It
will be time enough to find them guilty
of murder after the corOner's jury de-
termines who is responsible for the burn
ing OF that railway culvert bridge. Pub
lie carriers cannot be held to too strict
accountability for their acts, but there
may be cases when they are not, human
ly speaking. responsible, and this looks
very much like case OF that kind. A
hasty condemnation does no good but
expends the force of public indignation
prematurely. II the coroner's jury find
that fire had been playing around that
bridge for hours before the train crossed

over the road TO inspect the track with

cry, but not until then.

Liquor Taxation In Chicago

Perhaps no city has given high license
more thorough test than Chicago.
Under the operation Of the high license
law the revenue derived from saloon H.
censes has increased from $4,000 per
annum to nearly $4,000, 900. The former
rate was $52 per annum. 1t is now $500
Under the old rate there were In 1882
nearly $4,000 saloons In the city. There
are now $500. Had the former low II.
cense prevailed up to the present there
would have been fully 5000 saloons In
